36 mm 6-point low-profile socket for cartridge-style oil and fuel filter canisters Key benefits Makes oil and fuel filter removal quick and effortless: designed specifically to remove cartridge-style oil or fuel filter canisters cleanly during oil changes or filter replacements. Secure fit and efficient torque transfer: 6-point design with multiple contact surfaces reduces rounding and slips for reliable engagement. Reaches tight spaces: flat, low-profile design allows access to filters in confined engine bays or under intake hoses where taller sockets cannot fit. Built to last: made from chrome-vanadium steel with a matte finish for durability and consistent performance. Features Socket size: 36 mm (metric) Drive: 3/8-inch (for use with 3/8-inch ratchets or extensions) Points: 6-point configuration for secure engagement Profile: low-profile, flat design for access to narrow clearances Construction: chrome-vanadium steel with matte surface Color: silver Dimensions: 8 x 3.25 cm Compact height: 63.5 cm Weight: 170 g How it solves common problems Prevents wasted time and frustration by enabling fast removal of cartridge-style filter canisters without hammering or improvised tools. Minimizes risk of damaged filter housings thanks to the 6-point socket that distributes torque evenly. Fits where standard sockets are too tall; the low profile allows you to work around hoses and other engine components. Typical applications and use scenarios Routine oil change: attach to a 3/8-inch ratchet to quickly remove the oil filter canister during service. Fuel filter replacement: securely engage cartridge-style fuel filter housings in cramped engine bays for safe removal. Work in confined engine compartments: use the low-profile socket under air intake ducts or close to firewall-mounted components where clearance is limited. Compatibility and performance Designed for cartridge-style oil and fuel filter canisters that accept a 36 mm socket. Works with standard 3/8-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. Durable chrome-vanadium construction provides long-term reliability under regular workshop use.
